    Except I’ve been at the other end where I did absolutely nothing wrong but because I’m a man I’m the perpetrator.

    I’ve had women tell me to my face that they hate all men. I’ve been blamed for things women did because I’m a man and therefore must be the problem.

    I’ve even been accused of rape by a woman I never even physically touched only talked to for 20 minutes. We didn’t even talk about anything sexual much less sexually inappropriate.

    The pendulum swings both ways. I don’t hate women. I don’t hate men. I recognize both sides have bad characteristics. I recognize both sides go through different struggles.

    I’m just tired of being seen as an enemy just for having a penis.

    So I poke fun at it.

      Yeah, I don’t think that’s very helpful, but then again neither is blaming all men 🤷‍♂️
